My role involves ensuring the quality of our work in Liberia - and making sure we are consistently monitoring, evaluating, reporting and updating what we do. Our work here is wide-ranging - testing water to make sure it's clean, teaching people how to keep water safe, helping farmers get rice from the paddy fields all year round, supporting refugees from the Ivory Coast, and enabling women to develop skills producing handicrafts, so they can earn a living and generate a decent income. I am proud of the brand and reputation Oxfam has created in Liberia.

Access to basic services like water and sanitation is still very low across Liberia so we work hard to ensure communities have a source of safe water. Here Mary Kuto and Ben Daw Weah collect water from a new Oxfam water pump in Monrovia. Prior to building the pump, residents would have to walk long distances to collect water.

The impact of our work

Women used to have to wait for money from their husbands to buy salt. We [at the Virtuous Women co-operative] give women the confidence and skills to move around by herself.
